East Syracuse delays vote on disruptive conduct law

East Syracuse officials are tweaking a proposed law that would get tough on disruptive tenants of rental properties, a law that drew criticism from the local chapter of the New York Civil Liberties Union. The village board met Monday, and Mayor Dan Liedka explained the ordinance wasn't ready for a vote.

The village has been working with the civil liberties group to try to resolve its concerns. Liedka says changes have been made, and he's aiming for the board to vote on the ordinance later this month.

The board also is considering expanding its curfew for teens to cover 16- and 17-year-olds, and the civil liberties union has concerns about that. Village officials expect to vote on the curfew changes later this month, too.
